Johnson was a pretty boring guy in bed. All rumors claim that he and Lady Bird Johnson were close until the end. The significant sex scandal during the Johnson administration took place on October 7, 1964. Johnson's aide and most trusted advisor Walter Jenkins was arrested. This 46 yearold political insider was arrested for having sex with another man at a YMCA near the White House. Jenkins was so upset that he threatened suicide. He resigned soon after being arrested. The scandal had no impact on the Johnson administration's popularity-a few weeks later he beat Barry Goldwater with a landslide in the presidential election.
